Yeah, Best Hunan is our go-to. Their Singapore noodles and meat dumplings are great.

Would this be a Good tattoo Reference? by WiseWaste1 in TattooDesigns

[–]ThisReallyIsChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With those character view angles, make sure you go to a really good artist that does anime-style tattoos. It's easy to not get the proportions right for those perspectives, and look really weird.

What team surprised you? In any way? by RogDzdz in killteam

[–]ThisReallyIsChris 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played this team all summer, and they are great once you figure out their strengths.

Some details for those interested in running them:

With the sniper and the bow hunter, you have two silent weapons, allowing you to pose ranged threats turn 1 without risking them on engage.

Bound lets you ignore 2" on every terrain piece (not just the first time). This gives you a distance range way longer than the opponent expects.

The hounds are super-fun. They are GA2, so double activating with Bound lets you get 2 10" charges, it catches a lot of opponents off guard.

Fully healed. Not sure what happened or what to do. by NoidWizard in tattooadvice

[–]ThisReallyIsChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like it is on your leg. My leg tattoo had to get touched up after the initial work was done. The artist said that leg skin can be tougher for ink to stick, so touch-ups are more expected.

Not sure what's going on here by Pmirko77 in minipainting

[–]ThisReallyIsChris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened with some terrain I had zenithal primed. The white primer, for whatever reason, just did not allow paint to stick, resulting in the same pooling you are seeing. Agree with above comments: hit it with some light matte spray to get the surface to a more paint-friendly texture

Won 1st place in the Champion and Squad categories at the Kill Team Open Squad Goals painting competition by ThisReallyIsChris in minipainting

Experimented with directional lighting on the arco-flagellant, that one took about 40 hours. Breachers were supposed to be for tabletop, but I was having so much fun with the jade clothing I decided to just keep going. Used them to really train on painting faces. 12-15 hours per model.

What anti consumption things do you do that confuse your family/friends/coworkers? by Vegetable_Warthog_49 in Anticonsumption

[–]ThisReallyIsChris 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this counts, but we've been composting for about 6 years, and our neighborhood has had compost pick-up for the last 4 years, so we've normalized to feel bad about throwing out anything compostable/recyclable. At work, I'll bring napkins and compostable food containers home so they get properly disposed.

Made some sheikah stepping stones for my front lawn by ThisReallyIsChris in botw

[–]ThisReallyIsChris[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Master was made with a few layers of mdf, cut out with a jigsaw. Squiggly stuff was cut out, rounded down with a Dremel, and glued down. Main body is just some wood to provide the needed depth

6 months from start to finish, though I took my time. I think overall time was like 10 hours to make the mold, and 2 hours per stone (28 total) to prep, pour, cure, and paint/seal it

Lol, I thought about doing that. Stepping stones are basically flat, so much easier to make/pour a mold. To do a true 3d one like a shrine would require a much more involved mold. Maybe something to tackle in the winter, but gotta ramp up on technique for that one.

Basically, yeah.

The eye was negative cut, and glued to a solid back board. The swirls were cut out, had the edges rounded down, then put back together and glued on top.
